SubscribeNew Integrated Signs and Clarity SP Series rear-projection displays featured for first time on the show floor at GITEX in Dubaï.
Planar Systems, Inc (NASDAQ: PLNR), a worldwide leader in specialty display solutions, today announced the issue of its new Integrated Signs, the iS40 and iS46 as well as its new line of Clarity rear-projection displays, the SP Series. The introduction of these new products by the Control Room/Signage Business Unit support the company's strategic plan to deliver innovative products to emerging specialty display markets.
The SP rear-projection Digital Light Processing (DLP) cubes utilize state of the art DLP technology from Texas Instruments®. SP display solutions are available in either "open system" or "integrated system" configurations and come in diagonal sizes of 50" (c50SP/c50SPi), 67" (c67SP/c67SPi), and wide screen 70" (c70SPw/c70SPwi).
Each of the SP displays supports Planar's revolutionary Set It and Forget It™ (SiFi) technology that automates the continuous operation of Clarity cubes at peak performance. The Integrated Sign (iS) is a digital signage appliance that takes the complexity out of implementing digital signage solutions.
The Integrated Sign combines display, content player, networking and management into a single integrated and reliable device that leverages Planar's CoolSign Engine. Integrated Signs are available in both 40" size (iS40) and 46" size (iS46).
SP SERIES Shows Innovative Set it and Forget it™ (SiFi) technology
The SP series follows the Clarity display tradition of providing innovative solutions that exhibit high resolution, small footprint , ease of service and high reliability for corporate, government and industry video or datawall applications.
The c50SP and c67SP offer 4:3 aspect ratio and SXGA+ (1400x1050) resolution, while the c70SPw delivers wide screen 16:9 aspect ratio and full HD (1920x1080) resolution. SiFi Auto Color Balance and Redundant Lamp Systems are supported in all the SP models and dramatically reduce the time and expertise required to maintain a fully functioning and optimally balanced video wall of multiple rear projection cubes.
With SiFi Auto Color Balance, each SP cube in a wall simultaneously measures the brightness and color of the actual light directed at the screen. This information is collected and compared and then the optimal setting is directed to each cube in order to automatically create a rebalanced wall.
All this happens in about 30 seconds, depending on the size of the wall and can be initiated as scheduled, on command or based on an event. SP displays have technical and physical properties specifically designed for high reliability in restricted spaces. Front and rear access and modular design ensure that installation and maintenance is swift and straightforward.
Electro-mechanical image alignment technology with IR remote control and serial link control features enable ease of image set-up. A variety of screen and lamp options are available to meet a wide range of customer applications. "These products continue to extend Planar's range of solutions with display cube offerings and innovative digital signage solutions that will revolutionize the way visual information is managed, delivered and displayed," said Kristina K. Gorriaran, vice president and general manager for Planar's Control Room & Signage Business Unit, formerly Clarity Visual Systems. "Planar's new SP Series and Integrated Signage solutions represent technology innovation that supports our strategic plan to create best-in-class solutions for vertical markets that value differentiated display systems."
